But if you had a map you could make it in less than 110 days, couldn't you? And if it was a place that you knew the location of then you could probably do without a map (or maybe I'm just saying that because I'm a geography major).

It was just an example (because I have plenty of experience traveling across the U.S. being in a place that you have no idea about, so I was just compairing Boromir's experience to one of mine). I used it because it seems like finding Rivendell would be like finding a needle in Middle Earth (just like trying to find a small town, or a large estate in the middle of the country) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
110 days would be about 3 months, kind of like an entire Summer. Yes, it is probably that he just got very lost, journing around and around Rivendell, asking everyone, not finding the right path (and then of course there is the whole losing the horse thing)
